Adam Brown’s story of courage and determination has prompted many comments and stories from the people who have read it. And now it has been the inspiration for an original song by Mark Dowdy. Mark was so inspired by Adam's life story and what Adam overcame during his rise to the top tier of the U.S. Military —crack addiction, jail, loss of vision in his right eye (same as Mark), severed fingers on his dominant hand—that he wanted to honor Adam and the Brown family in his own way.

FEARLESS: the Single is a tribute to Adam Brown—an American hero who, along with his family, never gave up. Adam found strength in his love of God, love of family, and love of country, and it empowered him to defeat his demons. Mark hopes this song will inspire you to learn more about Adam Brown and to be brave, stand tall, and live fearless—just like Adam.
